Enlightenment: It's Not What You Think reveals how you can
replace the perspective of the ego – the habit of identifying with the body, emotions, and thoughts – with a new perspective:
the Witness, that of your soul … pure consciousness. With compelling logic, practices for everyday life, and guided meditations,
the book explains how you can free yourself from suffering, enjoy inner peace, and find intuitive guidance.

The essays in this book explore the descriptions of enlightenment in various spiritual and wisdom traditions, the process of becoming enlightened, and how to overcome the inner obstacles to the achievement of that goal.

Here, he delineates succinctly and clearly the time-tested techniques of these masters for eliminating
obstacles—our deepest afflictions of fear, doubt, and all forms of grief and sorrow which obstruct the incessant flow of our intrinsic luminosity and happiness. Enlightenment is a must-read, for it is practical, simple, and meaningful… It
is a decisive tool we can use for finding life’s purpose."

"True enlightenment is not simply an elevated state of mind but a complete change of consciousness
from the limited ego to the supreme Self-realization in which we are one with all existence – extending to all time
and space and beyond.

Marshall Govindan reveals the secrets of the Yoga Siddhas and their transformative practices to help you
approach that supreme enlightenment as the ultimate goal of all that you do."

– Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri);
Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies;
Yoga, Ayurveda and Jyotish Teacher;
Padma Bhushan awardee from President of India;
Author: Shiva, the Lord of Yoga and over thirty books

"This eminently practical guide to spiritual life draws deeply from many wells of wisdom, including
the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Kriya Yoga of Babaji, the writings of the Tamil Siddhas, the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo,
and the insights of contemporary studies of the brain. Written in an accessible style, this book will help its readers understand the quest for higher meaning, and provides a toolbox to inspire wayfarers on this most important of journeys.
Immensely enjoyable reading!"

"We all have within ourselves an innate and underlying quality of joy that’s always present,
unchanging and available, no matter our inner or outer circumstance. So how is it, then, that we don’t experience
unchanging joy in every moment? This is the critical and life-changing question that Marshall Govindan explores and implores
us to understand, as well as realize in his book: Enlightenment: It’s Not What You Think. Marshall offers us
a potent guide of exquisite teachings that offer us both simple and straightforward answers on how we can recognize, while
revealing the obstacles that otherwise distract us from realizing our birthright of unchanging joy. This is truly a guidebook
for all who wish to awaken beyond ego centeredness to open-hearted and everlasting peace."

"Marshall Govindan’s latest book, Enlightenment: It's not what you think,
speaks of it as maintaining continuous (seamless, gapless) awareness of the underlying Reality, a state of being, rather
than a state of thinking, a state of silence, which can be achieved by practising Kriya yoga, as experienced and taught
by Kriya Babaji Nagaraj. A “MUST BOOK” for every yoga practitioner."

The first authoritative biography of Babaji, the immortal master made famous by Yogananda's
"Autobiography of a Yogi", an all-time best seller. Babaji lives today near Badrinath, in the upper Himalayan mountains.
His body has not aged since the age of sixteen, when centuries ago he attained the supreme state of enlightenment and divine transformation. This followed his initiation into the scientific art of Kriya Yoga by two deathless masters, the Siddhas Agastyar
and Boganathar, who belonged to the "18 Siddha Tradition", famous among the Tamil speaking people of southern India. This
rare account, by a longtime disciple, reveals their little known life stories, ancient culture and present mission, as well as how
their Kriya Yoga can be used to bring about the integration of the material and spiritual dimensions of life. Clear explanations of
the psychophysiological effects of Kriya Yoga and guidelines for its practice are given. It includes verses from the Siddhas'
writings with commentary. A book which will inspire you.

"An excellent contribution to the little known science of immortality."

Sri V.T. Neelakantan recorded verbatim a series of talks given by Satguru Kriya Babaji in 1953.
These are a fountain of delight and inspiration, illuminating the Kriya Yoga path towards God realization, unity in diversity
and universal love. They also reveal the magnetic personality of Babaji and how he supports us all, with much humour and wisdom.
They were originally printed in three volumes: "The Voice of Babaji and Mysticism Unlocked," "Babaji's Masterkey to All Ills,
(Kriya)" and "Babaji's Death of Death (Kriya)." Includes the fascinating accounts of the meetings with Babaji in Madras and in the Himalayas by authors V.T. Neelakantan and Yogi S.A.A. Ramaiah. Out of print for nearly 50 years, they are profound and important statements from one of the world's greatest living spiritual masters.

Patanjali refers to his yoga as "Kriya Yoga": the "yoga of action with awareness." His Yoga-Sutras
are universally considered to be among the two or three most important texts in the field of yoga. Until now, commentators have
treated it as a philosophical reference, and have largely ignored its implications for yogic practice. They have also ignored the
fact that it is also an esoteric work, and that only initiates, with sufficient prior experience, can grasp its deeper meaning.

This new translation and commentary provides a practical guide to Self-realization or enlightenment. It clearly explains how to apply Patanjali's profound philosophical teachings in everyday life, in any situation. When one practices the techniques of Kriya Yoga, it is like driving a powerful automobile. But without a roadmap, most students are "stuck in traffic" or at "dead ends." Now for the first time, there is a clear roadmap to guide the student to remarkable destinations.

In Tamil Nadu and other southern states of India, there is a tradition of yogic adepts known as
Siddhas, who are renowned for their longevity, miraculous powers, and remarkable contributions to an enduring culture. They have
left a large body of literature, including Thirumandiram by the Siddha Thirumoolar, who was by many indications, a brother disciple
of Patanjali.

"Study (svadhyaya) has always been an integral aspect of Yoga. Western students, in my opinion, need to take
this yogic practice more seriously. Because of its succinctness and focus on essentials, the Yoga-Sutra is ideally suited for in-depth
study. Its approach is rational, systematic, and philosophical. By contrast, the Thirumandiram is ecstatic and poetic and filled with precious nuggets of yogic experience and wisdom. Both texts complement each other beautifully, and their combined study will be found illuminating and elevating.

"Govindan's book provides an excellent platform for such a study. He writes from
his own long experience of Kriya Yoga and a deep love and respect for the heritage of Yoga. Marshall Govindan's Kriya Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Siddhars is a valuable addition to the study of Yoga in general and the Yoga-Sutra in particular. I can wholeheartedly
recommend it. In particular, the growing number of students of Kriya Yoga throughout the world will find his treatment indispensable, but
others will benefit from it."

– From the Foreword by Dr. Georg Feuerstein, Ph D. author of "The Sutras of Patanjali" and the "Encyclopedia of Yoga."

"A significant contribution to the sadhana of every
serious yoga student, this copious (nearly 300 pages) new work, the result of a 10-year effort, includes detailed translation, tips
for integrating the lessons into one's practice, references to other commentaries, and indexes to both Sanskrit and English keywords
in the text."

– Yoga Journal - November 2001

"Marshall Govindan has produced an excellent and easily readable commentary on the often arcane Yoga Sutras, the main text of classical Yoga compiled by Patanjali from older perennial yogic teachings of India. Notably, Govindan has provided a unique perspective on this profound work from the Kriya Yoga and South Indian Shaivite traditions that gives his rendering a special value for disciples on these paths. He takes the Yoga Sutras out of academic confusion and into the realm of deeper yoga practice. He reveals the many sides of the true yogic science of consciousness that go far beyond asana or popular Yoga today."

– David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri), author "Yoga and Ayurveda", Director of American Institute of Vedic Studies.

"Marshall, your book on the sutras is terrific. A few months ago I asked Swami Nityananda what
was the one thing I could do for the 200 or so people I see each week as I teach yoga and he said, "teach them Patanjali's sutras".
I really like the way you have organized and presented the translation. Plus, your commentary is so understandable to a western mind that I have been using readings from it to my classes at the beginning of class as we center. They seem to be 'catching on' over time
if they come to class consistently. This is a great book for us western yoga practitioners, all levels, male or female."

– Martin Berson, Yoga Instructor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA

understand and accept ourselves, our purpose, our passions, our talents, and how we want these to manifest. A book that I highly
recommend for anyone who wants to step into their Self/ Highest Potential is "Kriya Yoga: Insights Along The Path”, by Marshall Govindan and Jan Ahlund. The book is a powerful companion for aspirants, practitioners or teachers alike, who are on a path towards expanded awareness, self realisation and personal mastery. In most parts, its power is in the vast topics it covers in simple clear sincere and non-jargon and objective style. I particularly found nectar in Chapters 11 on Kaivalyadham and 12 on Sadhana of Life which encapsulated for me the questions of - Why Yoga? Why Kriya Yoga? Why be / know WHO I AM? Once you have read it, you will know how valuable it is as an aid towards remembering Who I AM, and letting go of what I am not!"

– by Marina Kapur, management consultant in the U.K.

NINE TANDIRAMS ON THE TIRUMANDIRAM (THIRUMANDIRAM or TIRUMANTIRAM)

New Edition with a more accurate literal translation,
with verse by verse commentary, in a 5 volume hardbound set. 3,770 pages.2010. Each verse includes the original Tamil language script, its transliteration in Roman
characters, its English translation and a commentary elucidating the meaning of each verse, by six eminent Tamil scholars,
under the direction of Dr. T.N. Ganapathy. The last volume includes enlightened discourses from two
philosophical schools of Saiva Siddhanta, a glossary, a select bibliography and index. ISBN 978-1-895383-61-4.

The Tirumandiram, by Siddha Tirumular is a sacred, monumental work of
philosophical and spiritual wisdom rendered in verse form. Encyclopedic in its vast scope, and written nearly 2,000 years ago.,
it is one of India’s greatest texts, a spiritual treasure-trove, a Sastra containing astonishing insight. It is a seminal work
and is the first treatise in Tamil that deals with different aspects of Yoga, Tantra and Saiva Siddhantha.

It took five years and a team of scholars to translate each of its more than 3,000 verses and
to write extensive commentaries about them, in nine chapters, known as tandirams. This classic text contains five volumes.
Each volume contains two tandirams and each verse includes the original Tamil language script, its transliteration in Roman
characters, its English translation and a commentary elucidating the meaning of each verse. The last volume also contains
presentations from two philosophical schools of Saiva Siddhanta, a glossary, a select bibliography and index.. It includes
3,770 pages in total.

The following eminent scholars have translated the Nine Tandirams:

Tandirams 1, 2 and 3 - Translated by Sri T.V. Venkataraman

Tandiram 4 - Translated by Dr T.N. Ramachandran

Tandiram 5 - Translated by Dr K.R. Arumugam

Tandiram 7 - Translated by Dr P.S. Somasundaram

Tandiram 8 - Translated by Dr S.N. Kandasamy

Tandirams 6 & 9 - Translated by Dr T.N. Ganapathy

Last Volume - Glossary & Select Bibliography by Dr T.N. Ganapathy

and index by Dr Ramesh Babus.

Dr. T.N. Ganapathy, Marshall. Govindan, Jan Ahlund and Chris Brod have served as its editors,
adding commentary from their yogic experiences.

“The poems of Tirumular abound in technical terms conveying mystical experience. The symbolic,
twilight language of the Siddhas has the advantage of precision, concentration, secrecy, mystery, and esoteric significance
in that the symbols, at the hands of the Siddhas, become a form of artistic expression of the inexpressible. The use of the
symbolic language is not merely a protection against profaning the sacred by the ignorant, but also suggests that language,
however enriched, is incapable of expressing the highest experience of the spirit. Indeed, language is but a broken lamp. In
Sufi terminology, any attempt to convey the inner meaning of one’s spiritual experiences in conventional language is like
“sending a kiss to the beloved by a messenger.” In short, the twilight language of the Siddhas is, in essence, profoundly
mystical in nature and contains a “numinous aura” and existential revelations for the man who deciphers their message.” The
essential difficulty is that to understand the twilight language requires a total hermeneutic of reading, an awareness, in
fact, of the total religious and philosophical structures that infuse it. It also requires one to enter deep states of
meditation wherein the verse serves as a key that reveals a higher meaning to the initiate.” (from “The Yoga of Boganathar,”
volume 1, by Dr. T.N. Ganapathy, page 12) To enable the reader to fulfill this requirement has indeed been the objective of
this new translation and commentary.

In addition the work contains two enlightened discourses in the final volume, by the late Swami
Subramaniam of Hawaii, and T.N. Arunachalam, from the two sides of the debate within Saiva Siddhanta: Tirumular’s monistic
theism versus Meykandar’s pluralistic realism.. The translation and commentary has sought to avoid bias towards either of
these perspectives, but rather to elucidate the work itself, making it useful to everyone regardless of their background.

This book provides a comparison between the original and most authentic teachings of Jesus,
as exemplified in his parables and paradoxical sayings, and as determined by modern, critical historical research, with the
remarkably similar teachings of the Yoga Siddhas.

Who was Jesus? One of the most influential human beings of all times? The founder of
Christianity? A messiah or savior sent by God to redeem humanity of its sins? What were His teachings?
Is our knowledge of Jesus limited to what is recorded in the Bible? What has modern historical research to say about what
Jesus did and taught? "What were the original teachings of Jesus, before the Christian religion became organized?"

With the discovery of many new source documents in the Sinai Desert and near the Dead Sea,
and with the advent of modern methods of textual analysis by scholars who are independent of institutional bias, today most
Biblical scholars will agree that the books of the Bible's New Testament are written at several levels of authenticity:

What were likely the actual words of Jesus, quoted in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, but recorded several decades afterwards.

What were likely interpolations - words attributed to Jesus by unknown sources.

What was said about Jesus or about His teachings by others, for example, Paul
in his "letters," which make up most of the rest of the New Testament, and which
served as the basis for early Church dogma.

Within Christianity and in the popular understanding of Jesus and his teaching, how much have these
interpolations and early Church dogma distorted or obscured the actual words and teachings of Jesus? What do the actual words of
Jesus say about who Jesus was and what His teachings were? What do the actual words of Jesus not say? Answers to these questions
are a prerequisite to making comparisons between the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of the Gnostics and other mystics,
such as those of the Yoga Siddhas. Previous attempts by some, including Swami Prabhavananda's The Sermon on the Mount
According to Vedanta, and Paramahansa Yogananda's The Second Coming of Christ, may have been flawed as they seek to make comparisons with Christianity's dogma reflected in the King James version of the Bible. They did not consider the work of biblical historians who have suggested numerous inaccuracies in this English version of the Bible, in comparison with the original Greek.
They do not take into consideration the many findings that modern critical historical research has brought to light. Yogananda
interpreted who Jesus was, by distinguishing "Jesus" the person from "Christ" the state of "consciousness," which He had attained.
Most of his interpretation was based upon statements allegedly made by Jesus, for example, the "I am" statements, in the Gospel of
John, which are now suspected to be interpolations and words not spoken by Jesus. This present work presents a comparison between
the teachings of the Yoga Siddhas, with those of the teachings that are considered now to be the most authentic teachings
of Jesus, based upon the results of modern, critical, historical research.

As we will see, modern historical scholars have been able to form a broad consensus about what
Jesus taught, but history provides little evidence of what Jesus actually did. Nothing is recorded about the so called
"missing years" of Jesus between the recorded incidents in the temple in Jerusalem, when, at the age of twelve, he spoke authoritatively to the scribes and Pharisees, and His appearance at the age of 30, when he begins his mission, by the Sea of
Galilee. Therefore, we must look elsewhere to understand the influences that transformed Jesus, the carpenter's son from
Nazareth, into the Messiah, or savior of the Jewish people, and the Christ, revered by millions ever since.

But there are other sources, which by comparison with what Jesus said and taught and how He
lived, clearly indicate what those influences were. Examples include the writings of the Gnostics, discovered at Nag Hammadi,
in the Sinai, in 1945, the Jewish Essenes, discovered at Qumram in 1948 and thousands of ancient documents which trace the
development of early Christianity, and document its competing divisions.

More recently, the research of the Yoga Siddha Research Centre in Chennai, India, has
brought out a series of books providing, for the first time, translation and commentary of the Yoga Siddhas, or
"perfected" Yogis of India, who were contemporaries of Jesus. Their teachings and miraculous powers were remarkably
similar to those of Jesus.

In this work we will explore and compare these and other areas, which will shed great light
on the questions "Who was Jesus?" And "How can I best understand his teachings?"

"This work examines intriguing parallels between the putative teachings of Jesus of Nazareth (using the scholarship of the Jesus Seminar) and the Yoga Siddha tradition of South India. The author skillfully summarizes research by prominent scholars of Christian origins to paint a portrait of Jesus that confounds theological orthodoxy and argues for his status as a teacher of gnostic wisdom. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the transformational teachings of the Yoga Siddha tradition and this tradition's echoes in the early Jesus Movement. This study forces us to reexamine the vexed question of Indian-Middle Eastern transcultural flows during the Inter-testamental period."

YOGIC TEACHINGS OF JESUS

Nobody in the West is as famous and as unknown as Jesus, despite our culture being built
around His teachings.

Yogic teachings of Jesus" compares the mystical teachings of Jesus with essential texts from the yogic tradition of the Siddhas from India. Raised in a strict Catholic culture, the author felt the need of integrating the figure and teachings of Jesus with his practice of Yoga. So he wrote this book to reconcile both views, for himself and for others in a similar situation.

Get connected to the roots of yoga with the first English translation of Thirumoolar's
classic masterpiece of yoga, tantra and Saiva Siddhantha, the gospel of the Tamil Yoga Siddhas. It has inspired the daily
life of millions in south India and helped to produce its greatest yogis and saints for the past 2,000 years. Written in
3,047 poetic gem-like verses which go far beyond Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras" in scope and depth, this international edition
has been designed to facilitate the understanding of the reader with explanatory remarks in the special introductory sections, extensive footnotes, a detailed glossary, index and numerous illustrations. From the most mundane to the most sublime areas
of life it provides illuminating guidance and inspiration for Self-realization and Self-transformation.

"The Thirumandiram is as important a yoga scripture as the 'Bhagavad Gita', the 'Yoga Sutras', or
the voluminous and inspiring 'Yoga Vaisihtha'. This outstanding text is now available in a fine three-volume edition thanks
to Marshall Govindan's labor of love."

of the "Yoga Sutras of Patanjali", the "Encyclopedia of Yoga" and over 20 other books, in the January 1996 edition of
the "Yoga Journal".

If you are inspired by the brilliance of the writings of Sri Aurobindo or your heart is called
by The Mother and wish to understand in a nutshell how to practice their Integral Yoga, this is the one book you require!

If you want to experience in your body and mind what it is to "call down Grace"
into your life, this is the one book you require!

If you want to develop a clear and present knowing when Divine Will is interceding in your
life, this is the one book/ you require!

"We have enjoyed this book immensely. We met Professor Mukerjee, a sadhak of Integral Yoga for over
50 years, and a past director of the International Center for Education, in January 2006, at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in
Pondicherry. We were charmed by his clear message that living a divine life means being relentless in seeking out weaknesses
and shortcomings in yourself and clearly and utterly determined in bridging the gap from where you are - to where you want to be....calling on the Divine, whenever necessary. He gives us the means in his book, "The Practice of Integral Yoga."

This reprint of the classic work first published in 1973 is largely based upon interviews
with Yogi S.A.A. Ramaiah, a direct disciple of Babaji. It was the first academic study of the culture of the 18 Siddhas
of South India and presents many fascinating details which will be of great interest to the student of Babaji's Kriya
Yoga. The Siddhas or "Accomplished Ones" were masters of yoga, spiritual heroes, miracle workers and minstrels in ancient
times. Their poetry reflects their deep spiritual yearning, insight and experience. It also reveals that they were
outspoken critics of conventional religion and morality. Kamil Zvelebil, Ph.D., is a world-renowned authority on Tamil
language and culture, and pioneer of Tamil studies and university professor in the Netherlands.

Siddha, including many little known facts about Ramalingam’s life, prophecies, photographs and teachings, which the
author has investigated in painstaking detail. Ramalingam attained the deathless state of soruba samadhi. He is
revered universally for his great sanctity, conquest of death, and inspiring songs, sung by millions to this day.
Like Tamil Siddhas before him, he worshipped the “Supreme Grace Light.”

In chapter 18 entitled “Root Cause of Enmity” the author presents facts
and compelling arguments which explain why Ramalingam was persecuted in various ways by orthodox Saiva Siddhanthans
who condemned him for teaching that Siva was to be found within through meditation on the Supreme Grace Light,
Arutperun Jyoti, and that through this the soul’s sins or fetters could be dissolved, and one could
unite with the Lord.

The author reveals that before disappearing in his room on January 30, 1874,
Ramalingam said:

The shop was opened. But there was none to buy. So the shop
was closed.

I am going to close the door of my room. You believe that
God is now in the flame of the lamp. Therefore you worship the flame of the lamp without wasting your
time. You do meditation before this flame of the lamp keeping in your mind what I have stated in the 28
Poems commencing with the word “Ninainthu, Ninainthu”.

that he “ would remain invisible for two and a half
Kadigai .” (1 kadigail = 60 years. 2.5 x 60 = 150 years. 1874 + 150 = the year 2024 A.D.)

The author also includes the first English translation of these “ 28 poems”,

The author is a long time scholar of Ramalingam’s writings.

"I highly recommend this book to everyone who seeks to apply themselves to the highest teachings of the Yoga Siddhas."

with a blissful smile. He exhibited a childlike spirit at all times, enjoying every moment. In the 1940’s T.S. Anantha
Murthy became a close disciple of Tapaswiji. As the author of this biography, he has recorded the most remarkable
spiritual experiences, encounters with other masters and many other mysterious events that the saint himself revealed.

"Satsang" is the sharing of truth between fellow travellers along a spiritual path. While satsang most often implies a close physical proximity between those who are sharing, its essence knows no limits, and so, even a journal such as this may bring us together, though we may be thousands of miles apart. We invite you, dear reader, to share with your fellow readers of this journal articles which you may author, letters to the editor, poems, jokes, recipes, questions, book reviews, news and notes. In this issue you will find regular columns pertaining to each of these. This journal will also serve to keep you informed of upcoming activities involving Kriya Yoga around the world, as well as recent important events which may be of importance to you.

Through this sharing may we all become a little closer and a little wiser, and may we find, perhaps, the support and encouragement that we often need to continue the path of discipleship. Through this journal we believe that you will come to know Babaji more and more intimately, first in yourself, then in your brother and sister disciples and ultimately in everyone and everything in the Universal Vision of Love.

Avvai is considered to be one of the most influential sages among the Tamil speaking people of south India. Her poems and literary works, dating from the first millenium of the modern era are recited by millions of Tamil speaking school children in south Asia to this day. A huge statue of her stands along Marina Beach Drive, in Chennai, along the shore of the Indian ocean. The values and wisdom which her poems convey however, has a source. It is this source which the present volume, "The Siddha Yoga Tradition of Avvai and Her Literary Work: Vinayakar Akaval," sheds much new light upon. The author takes us on a literary, historical and spiritual tour of ancient Indian culture, and in so doing, helps us to understand her origins and greatness.

Like her illustrious forebearer, the Siddha Thiruvallavar, whose influence on Tamil culture and values, through his magnus opus Thiru Kural, is universally acknowledged, Avvai was also a Siddha Yogi. While Thiruvallavar was a disciple of Agastyar, and brother disciple of Babaji Nagaraj, the originator of Kriya Yoga, Avvai claims that her Guru was the sound of Aum, the Pranava itself, personified in the form of Ganesha, who taught her Kundalini Yoga. Her poetry invokes the presence of the Guru, and then ignites within the reader the flame of spiritual consciousness. It also points to the esoteric practice of Kundalini Yoga as the path which leads to enlightenment and God realization. Her's is a wonderful example of arrupadai, the Siddha's ideal of showing the path to others. If the purpose of human knowledge is to alleviate human suffering, then that knowledge or wisdom which eliminates suffering completely is the most valuable. Like all of the Siddhas, she shared her wisdom with this purpose. Their teachings are universal, non-sectarian, and very much needed in today's suffering world.

Students of Kriya Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Jnana, and Tantra as well as devotees of Ganesha (Vinyakar) and students of Tamil literature and culture will all find much insight and greater understanding of their path as a result of studying this volume. Readers familiar with Avvai's moral sayings may be surprised to learn of the origins of her wisdom, and be inspired themselves to apply themselves to Yogic sadhana.

"On a personal note, in 1981, I had a vision of Avvai at a shrine which was dedicated to her in the Babaji's Kriya Yoga ashram where I resided for a number of years beginning in 1972. Located at 13 AR Street, in Kanandukathan, Chettinad, Tamil Nadu, the large granite shrine contained a large number of rare and ancient palm leaf manuscripts written by the Siddhas. A murthi, or granite statue of Avvai sat adopt the granite sarcophagus like repository of these manuscripts. Sitting in this shrine one day, in front of her murthi, I had a vision of her, and she told me "If you remain faithful to us, we will work through you." So, I trace my efforts to preserve, translate and publish the writings of the Siddhas to that moment."

This collection contains selected verses from each of the 18 Siddhas, in the original Tamil, with transliteration, English translation and commentary. Appendices, glossary, index and bibliography.

The Yoga of the Eighteen Siddhas: An Anthology should be studied by every serious student of Yoga
and Tantra as well as scholars and philosophers. It contains the revolutionary statements of those great men and women
who have reached the furthest heights of human potential, and who left behind a roadmap for the rest of us. The "Eighteen
Yoga Siddhas" is a tradition referred to in the ancient Tamil language literature. Its illustrious members travelled
all over the world, had extremely long lives and performed what most of us would consider to be miracles. They did not
like to be autobiographical, preferring to identify themselves with that deathless jivatma, being-consciousness-bliss.
Consequently, they consciously changed bodies as easily as we change clothes, when necessary, laughing at the limitations
of ordinary humans. They were not only mystics in the truest sense, but revolutionaries against human nature, and they
envisioned and embodied Divinity, as a result of tremendous efforts of self-mastery and self-surrender to their God-head.

They left behind their teachings in the form of poems, written on palm leaves, or edus.
These works, have been badly neglected by scholars to date, because of the difficulty in deciphering them. The Siddhas
wrote in what has been referred to as a "twilight language," to obscure the meaning from all but the most
sincere students, and prompting the reader to seek the deepest meaning within themselves.

The Siddhas represent the best of what we can all aspire to become. Their illuminating
writings, so filled with the light of God realization, leave a profound impact upon the hearts and mind of the reader.
They also provide a unique source of understanding of both the means and results of Kundalini Yoga, a great esoteric
art and science.

Volume 1 narrates the life of Bogar and his teachings, Kundalini-Yoga,
Astanga-Yoga, samadhi, and a translation and commentary of about seventy-five selected poems. By contemplating
the verses, the conscious-energy of Boganathar may be absorbed, and their hidden meaning may be revealed.

Boganathar was the Siddha guru of Kriya Babaji Nagaraj, the famed Himalayan master, of whom
much has been written. Boganathar lived an extremely long life through the use of alchemical rejuvenation formulae and
special breathing techniques. He traveled all over the world, chronicled the lives of Siddhas much older than himself,
and provided his disciples an illumined path to Self-realization and integral transformation of human nature into divinity.
His astounding life provides a shining example of our human potential. The present work provides a biography of Boganathar,
as we can glean it from his writings alone, as well as introductory chapters on the Siddha tradition and Kundalini Yoga.

The present work also provides a translation and commentary of about seventy-five selected poems,
which serious students of all traditions of Kundalini Yoga and Tantra will find illuminating. By meditating upon the verses,
the reader will be able to draw much inspiration.

The present work provides a word-by-word translation, with alternative meanings, as well as a
literal translation, and finally an interpretative translation, to balance the need for precision and understanding and to
facilitate a deeper meditative approach to the various layers of meaning of each verse.

"The Yoga traditions of India have been frequently neglected. This book, the first in a new series,
seeks to remedy this situation. Dr Ganapathy and his team have labored hard to launch this series, and they do so with one
of the most illustrious masters of Siddha Yoga - Bogar. This volume is a great starting point for exploring the Tantric
Yoga of the Siddhas."

"The Yoga of Siddha Boganathar" by T.N. Ganapathy, Ph. D., is the first in a series of
publications produced by the Yoga Siddha Research Project sponsored by Babaji's Kriya Yoga Order of Acharyas and Yoga
Research and Education Center.

Volume 2 contains the English translation with commentary of two works by Boganathar: (1) Initiation of wisdom, written in 156 verses which teaches all about pranayama, the description and significance of various cakras, and the process of Kundalini-Yoga, the 36 principles of existence, and above all the true meaning of muppal, the three empty spaces, (2) The Cream of Wisdom, 45 verses, describes Kundalini-Yoga, pranayama, the ten types of empowerment, the 18 energized centers encircling the sahasrara, the method of liberation. Original Tamil language script, its transliteration in Roman characters, word by word translation, summary translation and commentary elucidating the meaning of each verse.

From the foreword by M. Govindan Satchidananda

"The Yoga of Siddha Boganathar volume 2" by Dr. T.N. Ganapathy takes us further into the
little known world of the Siddhas, adepts of Yoga, who for millennia, have explored the furthest reaches of human potentiality
and spiritual development. Boganathar was not only one of the greatest adepts of Yoga of all time, but also a great scientist.
In our present scientific age, the study of his works is especially rewarding. For the past 500 years, our western civilization
has suffered from a schism between the rational, scientific view of life, and the spiritual or religious view. This divide,
created in the politically charged period of the Reformation still haunts us. So, it is instructive to see in both the life
of Boganathar, recorded in volume 1, and the writings on Yoga, in volume 2, how one great man married the two views.

Dr. T.N. Ganapathy has rendered a great service to all lovers of spirituality and science in
the present work. For the first time ever, the writings of Boganathar, the greatest scientist of the Siddha tradition,
have been translated into English, and a useful commentary on these profound and difficult texts has been rendered. The
present volume contains poems which all lovers of Kundalini Yoga and Tantra will find inspiring.

By contemplating the poems of this present volume, the cit-sakti or consciousness-energy of
Boganathar may be absorbed, and the reader will enter a higher state of consciousness. This subtle process, referred to as
swadhya or self-study, by Patanjali, in sutra 2.1 of his Yoga-Sutras is an important part of the sadhana of every student
of Kriya Yoga and Tantra. While the poems have many layers of meaning, and such meanings can provide much useful guidance
to the practitioner, it is this process of Self-realization and transformation which is most important in the contemplation
of the works of the Siddhas like Boganathar. For this reason, one should not read these poems as one would read an ordinary
poem. After invoking Boganathar by name and with reverence, one should first repeat the words of the poem in the original
language of Tamil. By so doing, one may enter into the spirit of the work and communion with the author. Then one should
review the meaning of each word, then the literal translation, then the summary translation, and finally the commentary.
Afterwards, one should meditate on the poem and with practice one may receive intuitively its hidden meaning. Each poem is
like a key, and like a key it must be turned carefully in a lock to allow one to enter into a new space. By contemplating the
poems in this way, one may enter into a new space, where the hidden meaning is revealed. Otherwise, the poem will remain
as ink on paper just as a key is a useless piece of metal if unused. The Siddhas like Boganathar would typically meditate
for up to one year before writing a poem, and the poem would serve as a point of departure for the disciple to contemplate,
leading to all that the Siddha intended to communicate. In this way, the teachings of the Siddhas were revealed only
to the most sincere persons, who were prepared to purify themselves by yogic sadhana, self-study and devotion to the Lord.

Dr. Ganapathy has so applied himself, and as a result, he has been able to a large extent able
to decipher the meaning of the poems of Boganathar. It has been a joy for myself and my wife, Durga, to assist him in this
process, and to contribute to the commentaries herein. It has been a process of discovery, and I invite the reader to continue
it.

"I recommend this work to all practioners of Yoga and Tantra and to all who are seeking for an example of how the science and spirituality can combine."

This book fulfills a longtime need for a comprehensive introduction and commentary in the
English language for one of Yoga's greatest source works: the Tirumandiram or “Holy Garland of Mantras,'described
by Dr. Georg Feuerstein Ph.D “as important as the Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita and the
Yoga-Vashistha combined.” Tirumandiram is considered to be the greatest and earliest seminal work of the
Siddhas, the greatest adepts of Yoga, and an encyclopedia of philosophical and spiritual wisdom rendered in verse form. It is
a book of Yoga, tantra, alchemy, mysticism, mantra, yantra and philosophy. But without a commentary, it has been difficult for
most English readers, unfamiliar with much of its underlying philosophical concepts, to clearly understand.

This new book explain clearly the most important
themes and philosophical concepts which are woven throughout
the Tirumandiram. These include: Saivism; the nature
of Siva and the relationship which the soul or jiva has with the Lord; the philosophical school of Saiva Siddhantha ; the concepts of God, the soul, the world, liberation,
the paths to liberation; the bonds or impurities which keep
the soul in bondage; the concept of Grace; Love; meditation; jnana ; the Yoga of Tirumandiram: Astanga-Yoga,
Khecari-yoga, Pariyana-Yoga (tantric yoga), Chandra-Yoga (literally
“moon” yoga), Kundalini-Yoga; mysticism, the concept of the
human body and its transformation into a divine body; the
concept of the guru; the social concerns of the Tirumular.
With an understanding of the basic ideas, the reader will
then be stimulated to make a detailed study of the Tirumandiram
itself.

It is the sixth publication in a series produced
by scholars ot the Yoga Siddha Research Center, in Chennai,
south India, sponsored by Babaji's Kriya Yoga Order of Acharyas
and the Yoga Research and Education Center. The present work
benefits from the great familiarity which the authors have
developed over many years of full time study of much of the
massive body of palm leaf manuscripts written by the Siddhas.

“Who am I? Why am I here? How did I get here?” These are some of the questions
that have been plaguing mankind since time immemorial. Various attempts to answer these questions have led to the
evolution of the religions and philosophies of the world. The Tamil Siddhas or mystical saints from South India have
answered these questions in the form of poems in vernacular that are popularly called Siddar Pādalgal or Songs of the Siddhas. These songs are famous for their non-conforming and revolutionary ideas besides their bluntness and
forthright directness. One of the Tamil Siddhas, Sivavakkiyar is a well-known “pious rebel” who composed
Truth Speaks (Civavākkiyam), a collection of around 530 verses on topics
ranging from kundalini yoga to social issues. The forceful clarity and absolute sincerity of these songs jolt people
out of their intellectual rut and conventional thinking. These songs criticize mindless worship rituals, ceremonies, pilgrimages and recitation of scriptures besides condemning social injustices such as discrimination based on caste and creed. They explain the ultimate goal of life and teach us how to achieve it. They also give practical instructions on kundalini yoga, mantra japa, the cakras and vāsi yoga. The songs explain the nature of the body,
the soul, how a soul adorns the body and how the mantra namacivaya correlates with everything in the manifested universe. These songs show us that the philosophy of the Tamil Siddhas is a Philosophy of the Spirit
which is not confined to any notion or nation, religion or community. It is for the betterment of the entire human race.

We now present to you a complete translation of Civavākkiyam along with expert commentary

In January 2012, we are publishing the 2nd edition of "The Yoga of Tirumular:
Essays on the Tirumandiram," in India. At my request, Dr. Ganapathy and Dr. Geeta Anand have
written for it a new final chapter, 33 pages in length, which discusses the debate over whether the
Tirumandiram advocates pluralistic realism or monistic theism. Essentially the debate boils down to the
question of "Are there three eternal realities: God, the soul and the world? Or is there really
only One, all else being merely an illusion?" This chapter also compares the school of Kashmir
Shaivism to the Tirumandiram, because both advocate a perspective which bridges the above two competing
viewpoints. This chapter contains three parts. The first part contains selected verses to show that
the burden of the song of the Tirumandiram is monism only. The second part gives a brief
account of Kashmir Śaivism representing it as a Śaivite model of monism. The third part shows
the parallelism between the Tirumandiram and Kashmir Śaivism to emphasize the viewpoint that the Tirumandiram advocates monism and monism only. This parallel study is an unexplored field
hitherto. By using the term ‘parallelism’, it is suggested that there might have been no known
historical, literary or philosophical interaction between the two systems and that there is no concrete evidence
so far to say that either system has influenced the other. If you order “The Yoga of Tirumular,”
from Canada, you will receive in addition to the book, this new chapter as Ebook in PDF format, until our stock
of the first edition is sold out. If you wish to order only this new chapter, as a 33 page monograph, you
may do so here, for $2.99 It will be sent to you as an email attachment in a PDF file.

Persons new to Yoga are often surprised to learn that most of what we do in Yoga is
intentionally the opposite of what our human nature would generally motivate us to do. Aside from the obvious examples,
of remaining conscious when the eyes are closed rather than sleeping, or standing on our head rather than our feet, Yoga
asks us to do the opposite of our natural social behavior. These are not only moral or ethical injunctions, but serve a
very practical purpose. I will show you, with practical exercises, how the observance of the five yogic practices, known
as the yamas will enable you to transform your human nature and to fulfill both your practical and sublime purposes in
life. The yamas, are the social restraints prescribed by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras: The restraints are non-violence,
truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity, and greedlessness. - Yoga Sutras: 2.30. By following the yamas, the practitioner’s
mind is tamed and becomes a conduit for the unfettered experience of higher consciousness, from the Divine, the True Self.
PDF Ebook $2.50.
